The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

I think the Democrats need to start making the likely AI crash an issue right now. It has everything they need, and unlike the "boys in girls' sports" issue, it is actually rooted in reality.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

The Vitamin.

My deepest darkest fantasy is that I collapse on the street and I am
rushed to the hospital. They perform a bunch of tests and find out I
am severely deficient in some kind of vitamin. Then I start taking the
vitamin and I become the happiest cleverest person alive because all
my problems were caused by this one deficiency

caracalliope
Moreover, everyone gathers around to be tremulously compassionate
and discreetly admiring: all this time, you lacked the Vitamin? And yet
you persevered?

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

I've been saying Depression for a while. You can't carve this many people from (stable!) federal jobs, not have jobs open in the private sector to absorb them (or anyone else), and have the price of *everything* continuously rise. Something's going to break.

Best case scenario: Great Depression II (which some might say we’re already in if ya wanna be honest about it even though nobody is calling this what it actually is)

Absolutely Worst case scenario: Dark Age II -Techbro Robber Baron Ver.-

It's time to stop looking at civil service as a career path in the USA. It's a stepping stone, nothing more. Some people will be stuck, hanging on, but everyone else will steer clear of getting locked into rusted handcuffs.

I prefer “anti-fascist“ for a host of reasons and this is a nice practical one.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
